The Two Matts

Actually I was surprised at how much I learnt a lot of good insights and comment.

This podcast has evolved a lot over the years. It used to be a pub-style exchange between two blokes from Yorkshire who also happen to be seasoned newspaper journalists, who spent a lot of their time lampooning Brexiteers. That format was a bit boring at times, even though the show was always listenable. But now there is just Steve Anglesey left as sole presenter, it is even better, as he interviews writers for The New European, which is a fantastic newspaper that deserves to be more widely read. So for Rejoiners this is an essential complement to other podcasts like “Oh God What Now?” and “Brexit and Beyond”. By supporting this podcast and the New European you are keeping the flame burning in a barren media landscape, so my recommendation is to subscribe to both the podcast and the newspaper. We need to support the likes of the New European, the Guardian, the New Statesman and Private Eye in order to maintain some semblance of political balance in the UK media.

I am a Brit living in deepest darkest France, my fifth European country to have lived in, so truly European. I still care deeply about what happens in the UK and rely on you two guys to keep me abreast of The New European’s views (but I do listen to other podcasts as well as per your advice). I listen whilst walking my dogs in the fields every Saturday and really enjoy listening to your perspective on all things Britain. Must confess I am a Kier fan as well, never has so much hope been put on the shoulders of one person, no pressure Kier. Here’s hoping the sniper finally takes out the scatter gun merchant, step by step.

Thanks guys, you really cheer me, and I learn stuff too. Keep it going.
